Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 168150

(Firefox :: Bookmarks & History, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

In the site http://www.xxos.net we are using customized navigation bars located
in  top and bottom frames. It has a customized back button "<" which appears
randomly in either the top or bottom frame. The back button tells all 3 frames
to go back 1 step at the same time. This works fine in all browsers except
firefox where a user has to click the back button 3 times to tell all 3 frames
to go back 1 step. I have tried many variations in my code to make it work with
no success in firefox.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to xxos.net
2.click the click here if you do not get access
3.click anywhere in the zebra striped images
4.click the the first image
5.click the next image
6.find the < button it will be in either the top or bottom frame  

Actual Results:  
nothing after the first click, after 3 clicks it finally goes back

Expected Results:  
All 3 frames should go back 1 step each.

its supported, it just isn't supported well... this is more of a bug in session
history and frames than anything.

frames aren't the best-supported thing in session history, I'm sure this is a
dupe of something longstanding.
